Explore works from the City of Adelaide’s Contemporary Art Collection in this inaugural showcase of a valuable cultural and community asset. The City of Adelaide celebrates the richness and diversity of Adelaide’s cultural landscape, and recognises the transformative power of art. It not only reflects the world around us but also has the capacity to question, challenge, subvert, imagine and shape the world that lies ahead.
Since 2010, the collection has evolved into a vibrant reflection of the city’s dynamic identity, creating and preserving our shared culture and history with over 60 artworks by 40 contemporary artists. Many of these artists are now represented in the collections of major cultural institutions, locally and internationally, and is testament to the city’s artistic vitality, embracing diverse voices, themes and mediums.
'Assembly' offers a window into Adelaide’s past, present and future, inviting audiences on a journey of discovery, reflection and inspiration.
